Who's going to appear in Picard's new show?
- Thread starter Terok Nor
- Start date
I know I'm "expected" to say "Riker," but you can bet your bottom dollar he's going to be an occasional guest star, at least. Jonathan Frakes has been growing his hair out to look the part and may have even lost 5 pounds, or so. He can certainly be counted on to direct some episodes. And for as much drum beating as Michael Dorn's done to get his own Captain Worf Series, you can probably expect him to appear (possibly hoping to springboard from it). Marina Sirtis has certainly made several guest appearances in other Trek shows ... so, that's three. Wesley I'm guessing might ... and a remote possibility for Brent Spiner in some fashion. As for the rest of them, who knows? They're all such good friends ...
I was thinking perhaps his girlfriend from "Lessons", Nella Daren, but I just discovered that the actress, Wendy Hughes, passed away 4 years ago. 
I went; Riker, La Forge, Dr. Crusher, Troi, Guinan, Broccoli and Sela.
Will and Deanna are an item if you get one you get t'other, Beverly and Guinan for moral support, Geordi since he will probably be directing an episode, Reg for a cameo, and finally Sela because I have no doubt Romulans
will feature.

Barclay seems to get everywhere
Riker, Troi, Crusher, Ro
Riker and Troi because "not a captain" Picard will need a ship and it would make sense to ask some old friends who know and trust him instead of bringing in a random new character. Crusher because they belong together and Ro because I want to see her again, maybe even make it the first time she and Picard see each other again after she joined the Maquis.
I'd like to see all regular TNG characters again but if this show is about Picard and not the TNG crew as a whole it would make semse to leave some of them out at least initially. A bit of TNG nostalgia is expected but too much could kill the show, the focus would be more on the returning character of the week instead of on Picard if they drag someone in every episode.

... Agreed! Michelle Forbes was glad to leave TNG and, unlike the case with Denise Crosby, Forbes actually went on to a successful career in film and television. She doesn't even remember playing Ro, the last I heard. She has no memories of it ... that's how much of an impression her time on the show left on her.
She did play the character well. So I don't want her to be replaced by another actress.
You're right, there -- on both counts!
